This is about as likely to happen as pigs flying, but a bit of agitation is not unwarranted. Let Maxine be Maxine.
But let's not be foolish. Republicans don't impeach other Republicans. Hell, they don't even criticize them very often. Then again, Trump is in a class of one, so he may make the rule mute ... at least in his case. I still doubt that impeachment will happen unless the GOP sees itself on the brink of doom.
I agree. We are a long long way from things getting serious. Still, I thought it worthy to note. I also think Trump is as narcissistic as Nixon was paranoid. He doesn't deserve impeachment yet, but he has the potential.
I've heard a few people raise the issue of mental competence. That may all be bluster, or wishful thinking, but impeachment is the wrong solution for that problem. We have the 25th Amendment to resolve those issues, and the GOP may actually be more willing to rely on that.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
